I like that the characters didn't have names apart from the daughter. It seemed to create special significance and focus on her where everything else was a bit nondescript.

The husband and wife could be any married couple, and that makes it interesting, since you could imagine them in any way you want.

Excellent story I thought, though a little more emotional connection with the protagonist would have been nice, although I think that would have needed it to be longer, and I actually like the length it is.
